Something that annoys me that not many will understand...

abouttobebanned

...grown men walking around town eating crisps. Standing at a bus stop or in a queue and a man in his 20s or 30s eating an extremely smelly bag of crisps like snax or tayto cheese and onion.

Is there ANYONE else that this annoys? Or am I on my own. What annoys you that most others probably won't understand?

Fago!

You're in Dublin. It's pronounced CRIPS!

GAH!!!!

to be honest, it annoys me when i see adults, male or female, walking around eating crisps/chocolate/ice-cream in oublic

it seems like something only kids do, or should do

i cant really articulate ecaxtly why it annoys me, but it does

stevoman

female drivers really annoy me!

iUseVi

Yes me too. Licking their fingers and dropping crisps everywhere. Yuk.

seanybiker

I dont like people looking at me when Im eating crips

Kiera

People blowing their nose in public annoys me. Thats about it tho.

Ash.J.Williams

I really hate c**nts looking at me when i'm eating crisps and ice cream as if i am doing something wrong, when all i've done is work 10 hours without a break and there is no suitable foodstores or cafes in the area.

iUseVi

Oh and spitting. That's the worst.

Shivers26

I dont like walking and eating at the same time. How can you possibly enjoy something properly while battling crowds or crossing roads?
Its not right.

Fago!

Who gives a **** like! If they're hungry, let 'em eat! **** sake!

Stuck up much? A person is entitled to eat whatever food they like in public.

After a real hard day at work, working through lunch I think I'm entitled to eat something down the road on my way home without a stuck up prat judging me.

joolsveer

People drinking coffee or tea while walking down the street.

Don't worry. I'll be doing everything in my power not to look at you stuffing your fat face! ;-)

iUseVi

Sure they are entitled, but have you ever been in a cramped bus with someone with a really smelly sandwich or a packet of crisps? Or perhaps you are too stuck up for buses.

The ice cream van... jingly jangly annoying shít every fúcking day without fail. He was even coming in december and january in the ice and snow.
Unwelcome, noise polluting, junk-food pushing, crap. Yet people still go out in their droves and buy off him.
Let's have McDonalds vans driving around residential areas blaring annoying music while we're allowing pushy exploitative business practices eh? What makes ice cream so special?

NothingMan

Really annoys me when Kiera has a tiny little white dot in her signature that leads to a restricted sub forum and now I really wanna know what it is!!! :mad:

Hmm...while I dont get it, I understand the sort of thing you mean Sam!
Loads of things irritate the hell out of me...young lads who take care over their hair (lots of gel!), wear a suit and match the tie with the shirt and even have real cufflinks......only to wear those naff shoes with rubber soles which look like cornish pasties. Yuk!

You'd hate me then.

I walk around with a bottle of lucozade if I fancy it. Also this one time I was in Howth with my girlfriend, lovely hot weather so we decided to buy an ice-cream, imagine that, a 24 year old male eating an ice cream.

Actually is that allowed considering I was beside the sea and it was a lovely hot summers day?

Being honest on the ice cream front, I get one when I go shopping. It's a little reward to me because I hate shopping. I last two shops until ice-cream time where I get a 99 + sprinkles. Oh yeah, tastes great.

I love not having hang-ups about what I choose to eat in public obvious jokes aside

Jesus ****ing christ you must have little to worry about if that bothers you.

I must remember to pick up a giant multi pack of King on the way home. I'll scoop the crisps out with a block of ice cream.

Jip

People. Just people.

I walked past a music store the other day and there was a man in his 40's wearing a suit and tie, eating a bag of Monster munch and tapping his foot along to the music being played from the shop.

It looked soooo odd, like a kid dressed up for comic effect.

Ice cream is cool. It doesn't stink. But snax. They should be banned in public.

Good because apart from that, I'm pretty awesome.

I retract the "would it be allowed" and would like to substitute it with "would that still annoy you?"

Indeed, and in Cork they are called BLOODS.

Because eating crisps is assosiated with being a great leader or sports person, something alot of males aspire to.

Deep, deep seeded emotional trauma there OP! :P

I was standing at the bus stop on Amiens street outside Gandon house years ago (Score7 crew represent) and to my left There was a girl in her mid 20's walking along eating a bag of Snax. to my right, there was a fella walking the opposite direction, in his 40's big scruffy head and moustache on him.

As they were walking towards each other, the fella saw the girl with the Snax and made a motion as if to ask her for a crisp. Which is an odd thing to do to a stranger. She looked a little taken back, but as they passed she held out the bag. the guy stopped for a second as he stuck his hand into the packet of Snax, rooted around and pulled one or two out. he then said "arragh, sure I don't like those ones" and dropped the crisps back into the packet and walked off.

The poor girl looked crestfallen, her nice deed for the day done and it resulted in her packet of snax mauled and abandoned.

she put the rest of the pack in the bin and trudged off.

Sounds very much to me like the phantom snot-dropper. It's just as well she threw the crisps away.:eek:

My Catholic upbringing has led me to see all bodily functions as evil. Since eating is a natural bodily function, it should only be done in the privacy of one's home and purely for preventing starvation with no pleasure involved.

..and in a sound-proofed darkened room so that no-one can hear the slobbering and see the slimy bits dribbling down your chin. Eating's a filthy habit.:eek:

uncleoswald

Who gives a f*ck when you are just walking by them usually? Its noisy, smelly food on the bus that pisses me off the most. And fruit is the worst of the worst, oranges invade every molecule in the air and stink the place out. And then people just throw the remainders on the floor to rot because sure isn't it only fruit and not real rubbish?

Fruit eating should be banned from public places. Especially cinemas.
